Almost any way you play it we end up in a bracket with Buffalo - don't like playing them three times - but whatever

RE: MAC Tournament Tracker
If you put in yesterday's actual results we are a 3 seed. That's assuming we beat BG and lose to Akron.

RE: MAC Tournament Tracker
I don't think it calculates all the tiebreakers accurately. The MAC has KSU as the 5-seed currently, behind UB and WMU at 3 & 4.

Don't forget the MAC is seeding based on if the season ended today. The tracker projects who is going to win the last 12 games and then seeds. Both systems are far from 100% accurate.

RE: MAC Tournament Tracker
To add to the conversation, here are the tiebreaker scenarios direct from the MAC's website.

1. Between TWO teams:
A. Head-to-head competition

B. Division Record (10 games)^

C. Winning percentage* vs. ranked conference teams (top to bottom, regardless of division, vs. common opponents regardless of the number of times played)

D. Coin flip

2. For MULTIPLE (3 or more) team ties:
E. Total won-lost record/winning percentage* of games played among the tied teams

F. Two (2)-team tie-breaker procedure goes into effect (refer to A)
[NOTE: Once a three-team tie has been reduced to two teams, the two-team tiebreaker will go into effect.]

^ - For the purpose of determining the Division champion. This tiebreaker is ONLY used for seeding purposes if the two teams in question are tied for the Division lead. (Teams will still be considered co-divisional champions)

* - Winning percentage is used instead of record because of situations where teams do not play each other the same number of times. Therefore, a team that is 1-0 (1.000) would win the tiebreaker over a team that is 1-1 (.500).

RE: MAC Tournament Tracker
WMU has won 6 games in a row. Who is the team you would like to face @ the MAC Tournament? Who is the team you would like to avoid @ the MAC Tournament?

Kent State is @ BG & home vs Akron to end the MAC season.
WMU is @ NIU & @ CMU to end the MAC season.
Ball State is @ Toledo & home vs NIU to end the MAC season.
Buffalo is home vs Ohio U & @ BG to end the MAC season.
Ohio is @ Buffalo & home vs Miami to end the MAC season.

Something to keep an eye on during the last 2 regular season games, MAC Tournament, and hopefully postseason tournament.

He is 1 point behind 6th place Andrew Mitchell, 4 points behind 5th place Eric Glenn, 18 points behind 4th place Justin Greene, 43 points behind 3rd place Anthony Grier, 178 points behind 2nd place Burrell McGhee, and 288 points behind 1st place Trevor Huffman.

-Jimmy Hall is now 3rd in career rebounds @ KSU with 784. He is 30 rebounds behind 2nd place Justin Greene and is 228 rebounds behind 1st place Trent Grooms.

After the BG game, Jimmy Hall is now in 5th place all time @ KSU with 1549 points, 1 point behind 4th place Justin Green, 26 points behind 3rd place Anthony Grier, 161 points behind 2nd place Burrell McGhee, and 271 points behind 1st place Trevor Huffman.

After the BG game, Jimmy Hall is still in 3rd place all time in career rebounds with 799. He is 13 rebounds behind 2nd place Justin Greene and 213 rebounds behind 1st place Trent Grooms.

The anticipation of Friday's game @ the MACC vs Akron and then Cleveland next week is growing by the game/day for me.

Wow, Miami of OH beat Akron on Senior night @ JAR!!!

RE: MAC Tournament Tracker
What a turnaround to the season. I was very critical of Hall and Walker and staff early in the MAC season. I applaud them for the changes they made and the will to keep fighting when things were bleak and their fanatics were bashing them (me). The crow they are making us critics eat tastes very good.

Kudos Sendy and staff for rallying the gang and keep battling.

Further proof that while I think I know the game very well I should stick to my day job.

The earlier criticism of Walker & Hall from many of us (me included) was warranted. Both were playing "me 1st" and had attitude problems (yes I am at almost every game and I saw it on the court, on the bench, in front of the opponents bench, etc.).

To their credit (and the coaching staff's credit) they seem to have their heads on straight and playing very well. This and Avery's uptick are the biggest reasons for the teams turn around IMO...

Agree with attitude adjustment with Jimmy & Jaylin. Just an observation on my part, but I believe that Jon Fleming has been, and continues, to have an impact with their attitude/play also. I have noticed that on more than one occasion, Coach Sendy has sat beside Fleming during the game, conversing. And it appears that Fleming & Hall have a good relationship & mutual respect. Maybe a "good cop / bad cop" type of thing. Just an observation.

RE: MAC Tournament Tracker
Agree with these post as I was certainly a part of the critical comments early on. Our change in attitude is because of a change in coaching and the players mind set. I am sure that all of us fans are enjoying this turn around as this looks more like a Kent State team approach to the game. I just want to say thank you for giving me a team that I really want to relate to.

RE: MAC Tournament Tracker
Actually, the early criticisms were completely justified. I'm glad, though, that they improved so much. Things look so balanced now that in any of the tournament games, I'd be afraid to bet big on anyone, if I bet, which I don't.

RE: MAC Tournament Tracker
Don't underestimate the playing of four guards. We are now playing our best 7 players for most of the game. Our other two bigs were not in the top 7 and it showed when they were out there. The biggest issue now is the other coaches have seen this 4 guard offense and it will be interesting to see how they adjust to it tonight and during the tournament.

I will be surprised if we play very much zone. Maybe if JH is in foul trouble. Peterson and Edwin are not playing like guards. We are fortunate to have versatility.

RE: MAC Tournament Tracker
Great win vs CMU last night @ the MACC!!!!

Whatever it takes to keep playing, we will take it, scoring a lot of points, playing tough defense, luck, etc.

After last night's CMU game, Jimmy Hall is now the in 3rd place all time @ KSU with 1598 points, 112 points behind 2nd place Burrell McGhee, and 222 points behind 1st place Trevor Huffman.

After last night's CMU game, Jimmy Hall is now in 2nd place all time in career rebounds with 823. He is 189 rebounds behind 1st place Trent Grooms.

The anticipation of Thursday's game @ The Q vs Buffalo (last game of the night) growing by the game/day for me.

I saw Allen Moff of the Record Courier post a stat on Twitter that this season is the 1st season that men's & women's team have made it to Cleveland in the MAC Tourney for the 1st time since 2011.
